Again, the Spaniard seeks to take the brothers of the board of the Eurogroup over the next two and a half years. The presentation of candidates to influence the meeting of ministers of economics and finance of the eurozone ended this Friday with new candidates to challenge his current president of Easter Donokho. Minister of Economics, Carlos Body will attempt to negotiate ministers of the Economics and Finance of the euro, The key body during the financial crisis of 2008Field
“I present my candidacy to preside in the Euro Group“He announced the body on the social network X that Friday.” One step forward to give a new impetus to the institute that should play a key role in the European political agenda and achieve tangible results in growth, competitiveness, state of universal well -being and integration. “
In recent weeks, the name of the body has exceeded rumors as a possible candidate to head the meeting of twenty countries of the Unified currency. Always restrained Minister of Economics commented that It was “premature” to confirm whether it would applyAlthough he openly recognized the support of the President of the Government Pedro Sanchez.
At the same time, Body positioned vocals on how to direct the new eurogroup mandate with an enhanced role at the international level. In a joint letter, also signed by the Great Economics of the Euro, Italy, France, Germany and the Netherlands, they called for “rethinking the future of the Agency”, ensure greater relevance for these meetings and promotion in the Union of Capital markets. A message that claims to be more dynamism against the Mandate of the Irish and that, although it cannot be considered as clear support of the Spanish candidacyThis can be interpreted as a leveled prospect That he opens the door to win the favor of his colleagues in the euro.
The race is open to the agency captain against Easter Donokho. After two consistent mandates in two and a half years, the Irish from the very beginning made it clear that they would have to overestimate their intention to overestimate. He also did this before the attempt by another Minister of Socialist Finance, Lithuanian Rimantas Shajius, who finally also confirmed his aspirations.
Both Lithuania and the Spanish explore their colleagues in recent weeks in an attempt to find out whether to formalize their candidacy before this Friday. Determine if They will collect support, which made sense to take this step forward.
This process will continue with the vote of ministers of the economy at the meeting of the Eurogroup of the next July 7, in which it will be found out who will take the reins of the board from August. The arithmetic of this type of vote evaches the traditional discipline of the party’s vote, but this does not help two socialist candidates so that the bulk of the euro government is in the hands of conservative governments.
The Spaniards preceded a good reputation collected as a negotiator of legislative files, as difficult as a review of financial rules during the Presidential of the EU Council in 2023. Its role The balance was reflected after reaching the agreement Among the remote modest countries and southern Europe with its traditional clash between financial discipline and flexibility.
The agency is experiencing a minute of transformation, international geopolitical forces European countries to take a step forward, resume the role of relevance and influence at a time when the output of the global economy does not believe, but uneasy.
Among the high communities of appetite for Spanish candidates, the presidency of the European group is usually. Became Batut’s luck for the Spaniards Make a recognition and search for maneuvers within the framework of a community that allows them to step in the direction of the dome of the European Institute.
This is the way, has already gone on the current President BEI, Nadia KalvinhoHe made his attempt to talk to the ministers of the economy and finance of the eurozone in 2020. The race that lost in favor of his current president Donokho. He did the same, with a similar result of the vice -president of the European Central Bank Luis de Guindos. The journey that lost to the socialist Jeroum Deisselem in 2015.
The new role of Eurogripo
Of course, this is not what European institutions have The corresponding presence of the Spaniards in their high spheres will contribute to the success of the candidate for the body. On the contrary, he could play against him, while the EU should have some representative balance between member states in high institutional positions.
The Eurogroup, at the same time, is in the turning point. Difficult negotiations on the economic crisis were diluted and, in parallel, their role was in second place. The situation in which Spain and the great countries of the euro asked to change. The body protects in order to advance in the general project that the eurogroup can be a lever.
On the other hand, the Minister of Economics believes that the current geopolitical scenario requires an approach to urgent, flexible and with ambitions, a European political agenda of the day, in the definition of which the European group plays a critical role, shown from the Ministry of Economy. This new impulse will allow growth growth in Strengthening the state of universal well -being and integration between the countries of the Eurozone: The agenda of the competitiveness impulse, deepening the Union of Savings and Investments to promote in the European separate market and reinforce the international role of the euro, as well as financial stability and financial responsibility.
